[v0.13] Release Tracker

[NicolasHug]

We cut a release branch for the 0.13 release. (common commit with main is 69ce452)

This issue is for tracking cherry-picks to the release branch.
The POCs for the TorchVision team are @NicolasHug and @YosuaMichael

Cherry-Pick Criteria

Phase 1 (until 06/06/22):

Only low-risk changes may be cherry-picked from master:

1. Fixes to regressions against the most recent minor release (e.g. 0.12 for 0.13 release);
2. Critical fixes for: silent correctness, backwards compatibility, crashes, deadlocks, (large) memory leaks
3. Fixes to new features introduced in the most recent minor release (e.g. 0.12 for 0.13 release)
4. Test/CI fixes
5. Documentation improvements
6. Compilation fixes or ifdefs required for different versions of the compilers or third-party libraries
7. Release branch specific changes (e.g. change version identifiers)

Phase 2 (after 06/06/22):

Note that changes here require us to rebuild a Release Candidate and restart extended testing (likely delaying the release). Therefore, the only accepted changes are Release-blocking critical fixes for: silent correctness, backwards compatibility, crashes, deadlocks, (large) memory leaks

Changes will likely require a discussion with the larger release team over VC or Slack.

Cherry-Pick Process

1. Ensure your PR has landed in master. This does not apply for release-branch specific changes (see Phase 1 criteria).

2. Create a PR against the release branch.

   # Find the hash of the commit you want to cherry pick
   # (for example, abcdef12345)
   git log
   
   git fetch origin release/0.13
   git checkout release/0.13
   git cherry-pick abcdef12345
   
   # Submit a PR based against 'release/0.13' either:
   # via the GitHub UI
   git push my-fork
   
   # via the GitHub CLI
   gh pr create --base release/0.13

3. Make a request below with the following format:

Link to landed master PR (if applicable):
* 

Link to release branch PR:
* 

Criteria Category:
* 

1. the POC will reply with approved / denied or ask for more information.
2. If approved, the PR can be merged once the tests pass.

NOTE: Our normal tools (ghstack / ghimport, etc.) do not work on the release branch.

#6117 might need to be cherry-picked as well. Waiting for @malfet 's input.

EDIT: included in #6112

[datumbox]

#6135 might also need to be cherrypicked. Pretty much all M1 related commits + the BE work that Nicolas highlighted above need to be cherrypicked. I think we should do it once @malfet gives us the OK that all M1 related work is completed.

EDIT: included in #6112

#6140 and #6146 as well

Adding missing _log_api_usage_once to Swin's reusable components

Category: minor bugfix

main: #6174
release branch: #6175

@atalman this cherrypick comes after the final RC cut and it's not a critical bugfix, rather an omission on the logging side. I'll leave it up to you if it can be merged and included in the release.

@datumbox I think this is quite safe change, will improve user experience

[NicolasHug]

Fix all broken URLs in docs

main PR: #6176
release branch PR: #6177

@atalman this one isn't critical either, just a nice-to-have as it fixes broken links in docs. Feel free to not merge it if it's a bit late

[NicolasHug]

I think we're done with this one, thanks everyone for your help! Closing now.
